Charming South Bristol Cottage

Our calendar is updated in real-time & our nightly rates are accurately displayed. Simply enter your desired dates and click 'Book Now!'

Cozy, private, and beautifully situated near the banks of the Damariscotta River, the Charming South Bristol Cottage offers the quintessential Maine experience in one of the Midcoast's loveliest towns. In the same family since 1947, this home is a wonderful place to make memories, whether you're curled up by the fire in the mornings and evenings, watching the waves crash at Pemaquid Point, walking in South Bristol and Christmas Cove, or picking up lobster fresh from the boats in town. It's the way life should be!

What's nearby:
South Bristol is a classic Maine town - an active lobstering village with friendly, welcoming people and stunning vistas. You'll experience the relaxing intimacy of a small town with access to plenty of tourist sites and activities, including kayaking, hiking, fishing, charter boat tours, shopping, and dining close by. You can pick up incredibly fresh lobster at the South Bristol Fisherman's Co-op half a mile east, take a dip in the brisk waters of Pemaquid Beach 11 miles east, or enjoy a beautiful day trip to Camden, Boothbay Harbor, or Monhegan Island.

Charming Maine Cottage

This property is quintessentially Maine. Beautifully maintained, great South Bristol location. Spacious and loaded with charm. It is evident that the owners are proud to share their cottage and family history. Books line the shelves and everywhere you look there is Maine inspired Knick knack.

Perfect Maine Cottage

This property is the quintessential Maine cottage. It had more than enough space for the 3 of us, and the kitchen was very well equipped. The deck was a perfect place for coffee in the morning, or dinner in the evening. And the family history of the place, in both words and photographs, was fascinating. We are brokenhearted that it won't be available next summer because it is being sold. Maybe the new owners will put it back in the rental market!
